Flights BangkokThe city of Bangkok is the largest and wealthiest city in Thailand, with over 6 million people living within its borders. Although it is considered the world’s hottest large city by the World Meteorological Organization, it is also one of the most popular tourist destinations because of its many cultural sites.While the historical sites and monuments are what draw people to this city, many stay for the shopping. Bangkok has a variety of different venues for shopping, from malls to more traditional street markets. Because tourists can always to the mall back at home, they generally steer clear of these areas unless they are in need of something they left behind, such as a swimsuit, instead preferring the markets and bazaars. One of the largest markets in Bangkok is the Chatuchak weekend market, which draws thousands of people each Saturday and Sunday. There are also water markets, which although popular with the tourists due to the many tours offered through the canals, are slowly going away. All classes of hotels can be found in Bangkok, and Western chains such as Marriott and Sheraton, to plush offerings like the Shangri-La Bangkok and the Oriental, round out the luxury market. Then there are the hotels on Khao San Road which are popular with backpackers and go for as little as five dollars per night. It’s all in what you’re comfortable with and what your budget is. Cheap flights to Bangkok area available from its surrounding areas, like neighbor Hanoi, Vietnam, which is served by Vietnam Airlines along with Thai Air International. I recently took a flight from Hong Kong to Bangkok on October 30th that only cost a few hundred dollars. Farther out, flights from Europe can be reasonable as well, due to Bangkok’s popularity as a tourist destination. The cheapest flights to Bangkok from London, UK can generally found on several different airlines, but British Airways, Gulf Air, and believe it or not, Aeroflot – Russian Airlines are several that stand out. To make sure you’re getting the best deal, check with your travel agent for cheap flights from London to Bangkok. Coming from the other direction, Australia is fairly close to Thailand, so flights are relatively inexpensive from that point of origin as well. While they are not costless, reasonable tickets for travel on a flight from Australia to Bangkok can be booked on Emirates Air, British Airways, and Malaysia Airlines.
